State Licensing

Screening

HomeAdvisor allows Service Professionals to post information about themselves and their business on their profile. HomeAdvisor does not review or verify the information or representations set forth in those profiles, as they are self-reported by the Service Professional.

HomeAdvisor verifies state-level licensing where applicable - note: some states require local or county level licensing and you should verify whether or not your pro is properly licensed.

John was very knowledgeable and brought certain aspects up to code. The work was done efficiently and in a timely manner. I especially appreciated the way things were cleaned up after the work was completed John had performed plumbing work for us when the main water line leaked which required having to dig and trace the leak at the foundation of our house. John did a great job then so I had faith he would do the same in replacing our gas water heater. Lastly John was very accommodating in working us on payment arrangements. I would highly recommend Gill Plumbing

Great guys, great service, and done in an honest and timely manner. Had a new hot water water installed. They called ahead and showed up perfectly on time. In about two hours, they installed the hot water heater, reinforced the stand it sits on, and a few other details to make sure it'll stay in working order. They even made sure it was positioned in a perfect way to make the drain valve more accessible. Highly recommended.

Great experience! They were quick to respond with a fair price lower than others. Also, seemed honest and I didn't feel the need to haggle for a good price. The repair quality and customer service were outstanding. I had a new water heater the same day! I would hire them again.

Upon much debate, Gill Plumbing was our 'second opinion,' and we chose him to come out despite a service fee (he had so many great reviews). We had a very high water bill, and suspected a leak. We first called another plumber, and he diagnosed the problem was outside and was going to dig up our lawn and replace a GOOD pipe for over $3,000 (and it took 4 days to diagnose the problem)! When John came, he figured out the problem in 10 mins and it would only cost us $200 and our $95 would be included. Wow! We refer our friends and neighbors to him now. He is no nonsense and competent.

Project:
Install or Replace a Water Heater

John Gill installed my water softener today. (Project header may say water heater because there wasn't an option for a softener.) I've never owned one and so I had a lot of questions for him. Even so, John provided very knowledgeable and thorough answers. He walked me through the programming process, how to bi-pass the softener if required, and offered some incites into preventing typical problems that he's seen with other water softeners.
As for the install itself, John had it completed in under an hour. That said, my home was already pre-plumbed and I provided the water softener unit. One nice thing about John's work is that he guarantees his labor for one year. Hopefully, I won't need him to come back. But, if I do, I have the piece of mind that he stands behind his work.
I'd highly recommend him to anyone in the future.

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

Verify Trade License
HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.

Verify Insurance
As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.

Verification of State Business Filings
For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.

Criminal Records Search
HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.

Sex Offender Search
We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.

Bankruptcy Search
We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.

Legal Search for Civil Judgments
We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.

Liens Search
We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.

Identity Verification (SSN)
HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.

Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.

NOTE: Member service professional information confirmed as described above may change or expire over time; while HomeAdvisor attempts to maintain accurate and up-to-date information, and confirms changes when notified, we cannot guarantee that profile and screening information is accurate.
